Eileen Hollis grew up in the house above Hollis Funeral Home. She graduated from SUNY Brockport with a BFA in Dance, but went back to school to get an associate’s degree in Mortuary Science from Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC).  She won the graduating student award in restorative art.  In October 2017, she became a fully licensed funeral director and embalmer. Eileen has since built a following on TikTok and Instagram discussing life as a mortician. Eileen uses social media to demystify death and funeral service. No question is taboo…she’s happy to answer all the questions people have been too scared to ask. She plans to carry on her father’s legacy and take over Hollis Funeral Home whenever he feels ready to retire.
